NEWARK - Officials say an off-duty corrections officer is among three people who were killed in four separate shootings early this morning in Newark.

The Essex County Prosecutor's Office says 37-year-old Katrina Owens was at a barbecue on Columbia Avenue when she was involved in a dispute. Acting Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio said Owens was shot by a man with whom she was in a relationship.

Allen Barron, 21, of Newark, fled to Virginia where federal authorities say he shot and killed himself at a Richmond bus terminal just as agents were about to apprehend him.
